Dr. Austin attends 2nd 'Advanced Clinical Nutrition' Seminar

Dr. Todd Austin from Austin Family Chiropractic in Virden, IL recently attended a 2nd seminar on 'Advanced Clinical Nutrition'. The seminar mainly emphasized treating mood disorders such as anxiety, ADHD and depression using an all-natural approach.

Dr. Todd W. Austin from Austin Family Chiropractic in Virden, IL recently attended a weekend seminar at Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri on Advanced Clinical Nutrition. The seminar was presented by Dr. Rodger Murphree, DC, CNS. Dr. Murphree is the author of five books including one entitled “Treating and Beating Anxiety and Depression with Orthomolecular Medicine”. Murphree also writes for several leading health publications. Dr. Murphree was previously the past clinical director of a large multi-disciplinary integrated medical practice where he worked side by side with five medical doctors.

Dr. Murphree is thus recognized as a true pioneer in the growing field of orthomolecular medicine, a system where more emphasis is placed on vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids and botanical medicines (or herbs), than on the veritable plethora of commonly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs, most of which come with the possibility for potentially dangerous side effects.

This second seminar leading to an ‘Advanced Clinical Nutrition’ certification covered rheumatological disorders, psychiatric/mood disorders (with a special emphasis on anxiety, depression and ADHD), OB/GYN disorders and opthalmological disorders including macular degeneration. Natural clinically proven nutritional protocols for treating and beating these disorders were covered in detail.

Dr. Murphree has had over a decade of excellent results treating mild and moderate cases of both anxiety & depression with natural amino acid therapy. Austin has had many great results too, in the four short months that he has been using Murphree’s protocols. Austin Family Chiropractic now stocks Dr. Murphree’s line of supplements and amino acids, as well as his “Treating and Beating Anxiety & Depression” book.

Dr. Austin is a 1993 graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic. His practice is located at Austin Family Chiropractic on the West Side of the Square in Virden, IL. Austin has been a practicing Chiropractic Physician for 17 years.
